Seriously, I’m not sure if this is serious or just troll
bait. Justin Curmi wrote in the Huffington Post that not only should the
Second Amendment of our Bill Of Rights be revised, but also that self-defense
is somehow unjust. He concedes that there is a right for people to “carry and
have a stockpile of guns,” but the issue for him is defending oneself with a
firearm. I’ll just leave this here:

The main problem with the notion of self-defense is it
imposes on justice, for everyone has the right for a fair trial. Therefore,
using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is
killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights. In addition, one’s mental
capacity is a major factor in deciding whether a man or woman has the right to
have a firearm. There are two reasons for ensuring mental capacity. First, one
of the Five Aims is to ensure domestic tranquility and there can be no
tranquility if one does not have the capacity. Second, if one’s brain is
distorting his or her reality, they do not have the proper reasoning and
deduction skills to use a firearm.

Therefore, if we ponder and meditate on the recent events
in news about guns, it would be obvious that the current state is incorrect. A
gun for civilians is a weapon for a revolution and not for ordinary use. The
belief that a gun is a useful tool to protect one is counterintuitive because
guns get into the hands of people who use them for horrible reasons. In
addition, there are reasons why cops are trained to use a firearm in stressful
situations. It is not to keep their mind at ease or anything of that sort, but
to be able to fire accurately at the target in the correct location. It is
immensely difficult to fire when under pressure. Moreover, one may argue this
is an analogous argument and yes it is because the United States government is
lobbied to not study or fund research that observes the effects of guns. This
cripples the chance of evaluating a proper policy to deal with gun violence.
But, there was one study by ABC, which observed using guns in a classroom. All
the participations poorly performed at the mock situation.

You know what really sucks: getting killed. Getting
killed because we need to have some half-baked debate about not using a
firearm, or any weapon for that matter, to defend oneself because it somehow
perverts justice. When you try to murder someone in this country, and the would-be
victim has a gun, they have every right to use it. For goodness sake, murder,
or the attempt of it, goes against the fabric of any ordered society. And we
have laws that permit justifiable homicides should some unhinged member in the
community decides to make a conscious decision to murder someone else. We all
know this, so what’s the debate? Going by figures, violent crime is at record
lows, while more than 100 million guns
have been since the outset of Obama’s presidency. Yet, gun homicides dropped 3.9 percent between
2014-2015, and were cut by nearly half between
1993-2010. And gun homicides haven’t spiked commensurately with the rise in gun
sales. So, America isn’t a shooting gallery, more guns are in circulation, and
more Americans, especially women, are lining up for their concealed carry
permits and firearm training courses. The overwhelmingly majority believes in
defending oneself from grievous physical harm or death. This question is
the embodiment of progressive nonsense, which is so far beyond the realm
of seriousness that I truly doubt whether the author is sincere. If it is troll
bait, then well done, sir. If not, then civilization is crumbling.

Self-defense is unjust…dude, really!?

"Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."- St. Augustine

"A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous, and then dismissed as trivial, until finally it becomes what everybody knows." -

William James

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."-- Edward Abbey

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~~~George Washington

"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University." William F. Buckley, Jr.

"Conservatives are enemies of the government. Liberals are enemies of the nation because they are not enemies of the government."Aristotle the Hun

"That government is best which governs least."Thomas Paine

“A nation that substitutes emotion and empathy for rational thought will eventually digress into the Dark Ages,”Congressman Steve King (R-IA),

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C. S. Lewis

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." ANON
